Getting Crafty...

So it all started when I got an email yesterday from my Mother in Law with a cute New Years subway art attachment... I thought, that is really cute, too bad I got it a few days late! Then I got a wild idea that Valentine Subway art would look so cute in some frames that I needed to "re-season" since I took down all of my Christmas on Sunday. So after a quick Google search for "Valentine Subway Art" I stumbled upon tatertotsandjello.blogspot.com, let me tell you... I was stuck on her blog for HOURS! She had so many cute ideas for every holiday, that I spent my lunch hour at Hobby Lobby buying supplies and my evening working on projects. Below are 2 of my completed projects, and I still have a few others up my sleeve that I hope to accomplish this week... so stay tuned! I think that this is the first year that I have even thought of putting up Valentine decorations! Watch out, by next month, you may be calling me Martha!




I found the lettering on her blog and she was nice enough to include a printable word document that is in already done in the "highlight" mode, meaning that the lettering is white and then it is in a black box if you will... this made the project super easy, I just cut out the squares with the words, laid them on my black cardstock, used some modge podge to stick them to the paper and then a final layer over the whole thing once I had them all where I wanted them... the tutorial on her blog is to make a canvas out of the subway art... but since I already had these great frames in need of something, I just modified it!


Both of the pictures sitting side by side in the frames...


And this is my cute cupcake wrapper wreath... also found on tatertotsandjello.blogspot.com. This was super easy and also very inexpensive!

I will post pictures of all of my projects once they are hung and actually acting as decorations rather than just in random places of my home!

I may even post some pictures from Christmas if you are lucky! I am really going to try to be better about keeping the blog up to date... we will call it my New Years Resolution!
